Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort guests won't have to wait until the Fourth of July to celebrate America's birthday. They can choose any day of Independence Week July 1-7 in the parksto experience the flag-waving spirit of the holiday – all part of Limited Time Magic.

It's a red, white and blue extravaganza as Disney Parks honor America with a Fourth of July celebration like never before.

Each week throughout 2013, Limited Time Magic treats Disney Parks guests to magical, memory-filled experiences – big and small – ranging from park-wide events to special culinary treats to special moments of surprise and delight. All are offered for a limited time. Guests can visit www.limitedtimemagic.com for detailed entertainment offerings during Independence Week.

As part of the special week, a fireworks spectacular rockets into the air every night above the castles at the Magic Kingdom inFlorida and Disneyland Park in California with "Disney's Celebrate America! A Fourth of July Concert in the Sky." In this patriotic fireworks spectacular, dazzling comets and glittering bursts soar to a brand new musical score produced in a concert band style created to stir a sense of pride in being American, while at the same time, invite guests from around the world to feel part of the celebration.

"Celebrate America!" pays homage to all Americans and all who love the best of America. The fireworks spectacular takes place at 9 p.m. on July 3 and 4, and 10 p.m. on July 1, 2 ,5, 6 and 7 at Walt Disney World and 9:30 p.m. each night at Disneyland.
